Who receives the Zoom AI Companion meeting summary notes and transcript once the meeting has ended?

The meeting summary and transcript will only be sent to one person – the host. This summary and transcript will be sent via email directly to the meeting host and will not be stored in the host’s Zoom account. If the summary and/or transcript needs to be shared with other participants, it is the responsibility of the host to review, edit, and distribute them, as needed.  

Are there any limitations to the questions I can ask in the AI Companion window?

By default, Zoom AI Companion can only provide meeting data from the moment a participant enters a meeting. For example, if you ask for the AI Companion to catch you up on any information you may have missed, it can only provide you details from the moment you entered the meeting, and not any details discussed before you logged in.   

Ideal uses for this feature may be if you’re in a meeting, but had to step away for a few moments, or to query the AI Companion about any action items you may need to complete when the meeting is over.  

What if I am a meeting participant and I do not want the AI Companion feature to be turned on?

Participants can request that the host turn off the AI Companion by clicking the glowing star icon Zoom AI Companion glowing star icon at the top right of their Zoom window and selecting “Ask host to stop AI Companion features.”  

Please note that while a participant can request that the host turn off the AI Companion, it is ultimately the host's decision. If a host decides to keep the AI Companion on after a participant has requested it be deactivated, the participant can still leave the meeting.  

How will I know I am in a meeting where the Zoom AI Companion is turned on?

Once the host initially turns on the AI Companion, all attendees will see the following pop-up notification that the meeting is being transcribed for AI Companion:

You will also see a glowing star icon Zoom AI Companion glowing star icon in the top right of your Zoom window any time the AI Companion feature has been activated.  

Will Zoom AI Companion turn on automatically once the meeting begins?

No, hosts must manually turn on Zoom AI Companion for every meeting by clicking the star icon in the tool bar:

Zoom AI Companion does not automatically collect and/or analyze data from meetings unless the host activates it, and even then, the data is just limited to the meeting audio.  

Is Zoom AI Companion HIPAA compliant?

Yes, WCM has a Business Associates Agreement (BAA) with Zoom requiring that any data shared in the application is protected via encryption. Users concerned with data privacy can still opt to leave the AI Companion feature off if they are hosting the meeting, or request the host to turn off the AI Companion feature if they are a meeting participant.

On December 15, Apple released an update for macOS 10.12 (Sierra), 10.11 (El Capitan), and 10.10 (Yosemite). The update corrects a security flaw that can potentially allow an attacker to recover your password and bypass your disk encryption with an external device.
 

How will this affect you?

Using this vulnerability, attackers can retrieve your computer’s password by plugging in a Thunderbolt device into your locked or sleeping Mac. Then, your computer can be unlocked, making all data on your computer available.
